1 The Point Recreation Facility Policy and Procedure Manual Revised July 2009 Brian Harris Minister of Recreation 1

2 Introduction Our mission at CrossPoint is to use sports and recreational activities to CONNECT with God, His people, and His plan. CrossPoint s desire is to be found faithful as God s people to bring in JUST ONE MORE to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. This means the sharing of the truth, love, and grace of our Lord and Savior. As a result the recreation staff will openly and freely speak of their relationship with Christ. CrossPoint wants to provide a recreational environment in a Christian setting for the family of faith and to reach JUST ONE MORE. Purpose / Goals To provide an avenue to focus and connect with: GOD GOD S PEOPLE GOD S PLAN CONNECT WITH GOD Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. CONNECT WITH GOD S PEOPLE Ephesians 4:12 to prepare God s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Romans 12:4-5 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 2

3 CONNECT WITH GOD S PLAN Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God s will is his good, pleasing and perfect will. By the experience of The Point we expect you to CONNECT with God, God s people, and God s plan. Letter from our Recreation Minister... Welcome to The Point. God is truly doing some amazing things here at CrossPoint and one of those things is allowing us to have this great facility. This building was designed to help the mission of CrossPoint by reaching JUST ONE MORE. The Recreation Ministry offers something for everyone. No matter your age, physical ability or stage in your life this is the place for you. It is by design that each program or activity in The Point will help meet your needs mentally, physically and spiritually. Recreation should be a vital part of each of our lives. The reality is that we are probably too busy to even think about it. I want to encourage you to take time for yourself and stop by The Point to see how we can serve you. Whether you are looking for a place to play ball, a fitness class, a time of fellowship, a quiet place to exercise, a safe place for your family to spend some quality time together or just a few minutes away from the craziness of your day, The Point is the place for you. It is my prayer that you CONNECT to God, God s People and God s Plan through the Recreation Ministry. Brian Harris Minister of Recreation 3
